Plant potatoes, tomatoes, string beans

Must not be a farmer. Midwest farmers have no machinery or expertise for for growing these & and there is no chance you would eat a significant percentage of any grown.

I should have responded earlier to the other dozens before you scolding me about my comment.

Apparently not many noticed the smiley face I put at the end of my post. Was trying to be funny, not totally serious.

But I will say how sad it is in a nation such as ours with millions and millions of acres of land, that there would be any kind of scare such as this corn shortage. As I said to someone else, there is enough farmland just in the southern states alone to feed the entire U.S. population with vegetables. But modern life with its corporations-farming and global markets has turned a rainy season into a corn-scare and more high food prices. Really sad.
